I am Ashley "Sulola" Harris, a seasoned therapist with lived experience, driven by a passion to foster self-love, honor, and authenticity within diverse communities. As a licensed professional counselor and an expressive arts therapy trainee, I bring a unique blend of professional expertise and personalized care to each interaction.
My foundation in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (T-CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) equips me to utilize leading-edge therapeutic strategies to provide effective mental health support.
My journey as a special education teacher has instilled in me valuable insights into neurodiversity and inclusivity, principles that I passionately integrate into my therapeutic practice. My experience working closely with foster youth and families experiencing separation has further refined my skills in trauma-informed care.
A crucial aspect of my approach is the respect I hold for spiritual practices. I acknowledge the transformative role spirituality can play in healing and self-discovery and strive to create a space where all spiritual practices are recognized and respected.
In essence, I am not just a professional counselor; I am an advocate for self-preservation, self-respect, and authenticity. Through my work, I hope to inspire individuals to embrace their truths and embark on a journey of self-love.
